Thread: The ultimate RR Classic?

I reckon a 93 model Vogue is the best keeper of the lot.(Just like mine)
NO ABS (mucho dinero to fix)
NO AIR SUSPENSION (DITTO)
NO SUNROOF (DITTO DITTO Rust)
NO POWER SEATS (DITTO DITTO switches etc)
NO SRS AIRBAGS (so any bullbar OK)
However the pluses
3.9 with hotwire
Great electrics with proper good quality connectors.I have never had an electrical problem.
great coil suspension
Legal to remove roll bars as sold in other markets without.
Reasonable quality trim except for the centre console which is crap.
Great quiet BW transfer
Beautiful ZF 4HP22.
Regards Philip A

My sisters soft dash vogue LSE in gun metal grey. With discovery 1 winch bar.

I'm in the process of rebuilding a 4.6 too replace the 3.9

The room in the back is hugeeeeee

'87, 4 speed auto, LT230, 2inch lift, lovel springs and koni shocks, maxi drive lockers and axles front and back, BFG KM2's with 235/85/16's, vented discs, bash plates, leather upholstery a must, working aircon, high compression 4.6L motor with Haltech F9 computer, mandrel exhaust, snorkel and every hose replaced plus of course a good radio with Dynaudio or similar speakers.

Thats what my 2nd to last RRc was and boy was it good.

Bar work, winch and lights are also on the list but I assume you be doing that anyhow.
Budget for the above work is $20k incl of car and I guarantee it will run 150k km's trouble free.

There it is mate, exactly what you asked for.

That's right. The room in the back of the LSE is huge. No comparison with P38 or L322. I went to the motorshow and the new stuff from Range Rover doesn't compare. You'd be knockin' your knees in any of the current product line-up. Case closed.

yeah one of them, except with an isuzu 4bd1t and isuzu 5 speed, detroit locked sals, body lift, spring lift, winch and front and rear bars and bigger rubber, just like mine (when i finish it).
Oh the room in the back seat, thats the clencher

This has very quickly become a why my RRC is the best thread!
Which ill gladly add too.
I think it comes down to what level of luxury you like, I love my 75 2 door because its original, the steering is heavy, its loud, It uses to much fuel, the seats are sunken and give you a sore back but its old. And that's what makes my RRC the best.
Every body is going to have a different opinion on what is the best, and they are of course, all wrong
If you don't have much of a budget and don't want many mod cons then the best RRC will different to somebody who is after those attributes.
At least the body shape hasn't changed much so all you have to do in that department is choose how many doors you want. (2 door isn't advised if the back seats will be used regularly)

Anyone who puts a truck donk in a LSE should be locked up, I will hide the key personally.
